Chirp Audiobooks 4+

Chirp’s my secondary audiobook source

Years a go I was a librarian and listened to audiobook CD sets to keep up on new authors & books … I’ve been a member of Audible forever and have hundreds of books … a few years ago a friend was asking me if there was anything besides Audible as she was on a limited budget and had limited access to audiobooks in her remote area … I did a little research and found Chirp … the no subscription, discount premise the publishers use to introduce you to possibly new authors, titles or genres is great … I don’t buy near as many books anymore, but am I throughly enjoying Chirp as a secondary source to buy audiobooks … I’ve gotten a few non-fiction titles that have been on my wishlist for awhile and I was able to get the entire series of a new author to me on sale at a price I could afford now that my budget is more limited (BTW - I am loving the new series!) … the only hiccup I have is that I tend to use the online website to browse titles as the app can be tricky to do that … It’s worth trying Chirp out!

Just finished my first book on Chirp

What are rich time I was just privileged to spend with a profoundly knowledgeable man of God who lived a generation ago. I just finished the book how to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and was profoundly challenged by the scriptural approach taken by A.W. Tozer. I would recommend this book to any Christian who has been born again but wants to live a more deeply scriptural experience of what God has in mind for all Christians.

If the reader of this is not yet a Christian… I would encourage you to read a wonderful small little book just a few chapters long… Known as the gospel of John. Remember hearing about the four Gospels at the beginning of the new testament “Matthew, Mark, Luke & John?“ Just go to John and read those few chapters and you will meet the person of Jesus Christ.

I read the writings of a profoundly scholarly man who had studied all of the philosophies and all of the religions of the world… Who had come up with what he believed to be the single most important question any human being will ever ask or ask themselves for an answer to. Go to the gospel of John and ask this question “who is Jesus Christ and what am I going to do with Him? God will use that honest inquiry to miraculously change your life for eternity. Guaranteed. Abundant blessings.

Great Audible alternative

Who has time to pay $16 for an Audible audiobook that you can only get once a month, whether you use audiobooks that frequently or not? Certainly not me. That’s why I love Chirp Books. They do all the hard work for me, and send me severely discounted audiobooks in my preferred genres. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a price north of $6, with most being closer to $3 or $4. And as someone who’s on a budget, Chirp Books is a great something to have alongside my library card. The user interface can be a bit tricky to navigate between the play page and the chapter breakdowns/additional info, so I’d love to see that strengthened in the next update. (But that’s by no means a deal breaker.) The audiobooks are of great quality, you have your playback speeds and sleep timers if you want to use those.
AND. YOU CAN BUY THE AUDIOBOOKS DIRECTLY FROM YOUR PHONE. Be it the daily emails they send or from browsing the app, they make it SO easy to buy the app. I actually got my dad hooked on audiobooks thanks to Chirp Books. A definite fan!
